Awesome Pairing: Beer and Bottle Rockets

Now We Want to Work for Shiner Bock

How did Shiner Bock celebrate its 100th birthday? A 100-bottle, bottle-rocket salute. This is why you don't mess with Texas. While New York is probably right this minute considering a law to put rubber padding on the corners of buildings, down in Texas they're drinking beer and shooting fireworks. Hell, bottle rockets are illegal in most states. And you have to have a "source" to get Shiner in New York. (Before you even ask, no one lost an eye or a finger or anything.)
